Aries (March 21-April 19): You may feel obligated to follow the crowd regarding a financial choice today. Look closer — is whatever your friends want you to do even that important to them, or is it just a passing whim? Don’t let your pride make this provocation a bigger deal than it needs to be.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Proving your worth with some consequential achievement may seem like a high priority. Although you might think this sounds like settling for less than you’re capable of, it is possible to strive for more without denigrating what you have. An attitude of gratitude can go far.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Uncovering the truth about some situation could feel urgent. Perhaps the greatest obstacle to the clarity you seek is an overly obsessive approach. The answers you need can flow toward you when you give your quest a rest. Be especially careful to avoid scaring people away.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Consequential issues are likely to command your attention today. Knowing the limits of your authority will be key to finding peace. You aren’t responsible for whether or not your companions choose to pursue a deeper approach to life, so don’t put that incredible burden on yourself.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The outside world may presently envy one of your close relationships. Sadly, their admiring comments are likely to grate on you. You might decide to keep the difficult details to yourself, but understanding why you made that choice for yourself should be empowering.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Questioning your relentless work ethic can show you needed perspective. An invitation to get out of your usual routine and do something fun could threaten your careful plans for the day. Use your intuition to determine which of the tasks on your to-do list are truly urgent.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Having fun may not be as innocent as it appears at the moment. Although allowing your inner child to come out is healthy, there’s a point where it crosses the line into destructive childishness. If a loved one is a priority for you, step up before you push them away.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Getting to know someone better could be exciting now. How candid should you be? Being vulnerable with the goal that the other person will feel sorry for you and do what you want wouldn’t be a good look. Think carefully about what you hope to get out of sharing an upsetting story before you proceed.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may currently crave a break from your responsibilities. That’s totally understandable. Old resentments could come to mind, but trying to prove that others owe you for some long-ago infraction probably won’t pay off. Focus on what works in the present moment.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Having fun could currently be a high priority for you. Maybe this isn’t an entirely bad thing. Although having structure in your financial life is important, it needs to be based on reality. Analyze your accounts — you’ll be pleased to learn that you have room to give a little.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Putting on an intimidating face could seem necessary now. You’ll potentially try to convince another person that they have a duty to take care of you because you’re vulnerable. Watch out — tying down someone who doesn’t want to be there is likely to backfire.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Talking to hear yourself talk is a risk today. Engaging in compulsive chatter could seem like a welcome distraction. This approach isn’t necessarily wrong, as long as your conversation partner is willing. Perhaps you’ll both get something positive from the exchange. Take your tactic for what it is though.
